  WASI-enabled WebAssembly C/C++ toolchain

  

Project mention: Stop Hiding the Sharp Knives: The WebAssembly Linux Interface | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-13

I would really love being able to take any POSIX command line tool, compile that to WASI, and run it on (at least) Linux, Windows and macOS like a regular executable without having to install a separate WASI runtime.

I'm a 'WASI convert' since I was able to take an ancient 8-bit assembler written in the mid-90's (http://xi6.com/projects/asmx/), compile that as-is with the WASI SDK (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk), and then integrate it into a VSCode extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=floooh.v...).

A similar problem is I have is a shader cross-compiler (https://github.com/floooh/sokol-tools) which needs to run Linux, macOS and Windows and takes too long to build locally, thus I currently need to distribute that as pre-built binaries. Compiling this to WASI works, but the filesystem access restrictions built into current wasm runtimes are a hassle to manage, and it would require a WASI runtime to be separately installed).

Oh it’s certainly looking like that IMO.

You can run wasm in k8s: https://krustlet.dev/

Docker itself can run wasm: https://wasmlabs.dev/articles/docker-without-containers/

There are a few serverless runtimes based on wasm: https://wasmcloud.com/

A lot of those are powered by wasmtime or WasmEdge.

If you’re wanting to be able to just pull down a random app and run it as wasm, that’s inherently harder with wasm, because you have to recompile, and amazing compiling stuff is always harder than it should be. For example I compiled jq to wasm to other day, so you dont have to worry (as much) about the CVEs that was issued recently. https://github.com/rockwotj/jq-wasi
